It's a flatback, he mentioned the windows in the other forum.

Russell, please go buy yourself a $50-100 crap digital and give us some pics... a lot of these discussions are made much simpler by visual aid.

Any chance your taking out the front hatch doors on the casting deck in the very front of the boat.  Mine need to be replaced and I am looking for a new set in good shape.

I was thinking about it next year,I just sanded them and had them gel coated with the glass beads they look brand new again,I couldn't beleive the shape they where in once they where sanded with all the junk that was painted on them.I do have the one hatch cover I did away with thats the one over the windows.but I was thinking of maybe putting a back up fuel tank (small) and a fresh water wash down up under the casting deck.More than likely they will be coming out because I only replaced the back deck and only refinished the front.

Let me know if you end up taking off those front hatches.  Mine are the originals and look good but have soft spots and water trapped in the inside.

yea we have ethonal it's about 10%,plastic is the way to go from what I've read and heard,it has a chemical reaction with metal,and fiberglass is even worse.I just have to buy the better fuel lines and fill lines and have to change the gaskets on the tank from time to time...alot of the newer boats out have plastic too..

Post your pictures on Photobucket then copy/paste them here.  The gallery here is dead unless someone gets up the gumption to fix it.
